Love is on the Air

Rate this book
Could a blind date on the radio blossom into love on the airwaves?


DJ Marky Sparks is hanging onto his career by a thread - he needs a miracle.

Steven Byrne has an invite to his brother’s & 'Couples Only' party – he needs a date.

Mats Davidson has just dumped her cheating boyfriend – she doesn’t need anything.


A drunken email brings these three strangers together and changes their lives in ways they could never have foreseen.

Is love about to be on the air?

Mats Davidson has just dumped her cheating boyfriend so is less than impressed to find herself, thanks to her interfering best friend, taking part in a radio version of Blind Date barely two hours later.

Steven Byrne can’t attend his brother’s “Couples Only” engagement party without a date and is horrified to find he’s sent a drunken email to a local radio station asking for their help in finding one.

DJ Marky Sparks seizes the opportunity to add a different element to his morning breakfast show and in doing so, brings Mats and Steven together.

While the date is a success, there are no plans to meet again but DJ Sparks has other ideas. He formats a plan to bring Mats and Steven together while also, hopefully, saving his radio station and his career.

About the author

Kiltie Jackson

12 books46 followers
Kiltie Jackson spent her childhood years growing up in Scotland. Most of these early years were spent in and around Glasgow although for a short period of time, she wreaked havoc at a boarding school in the Highlands.

By the age of seventeen, she had her own flat which she shared with a couple of cats for a few years while working as a waitress in a cocktail bar (she’s sure there’s a song in there somewhere!) and serving customers in a fashionable clothing outlet before moving down to London to chalk up a plethora of experience which is now finding its way into her writing.

Once she’d wrung the last bit of fun out of the smoky capital, she moved up to the Midlands and now lives in Staffordshire with one grumpy husband and another six feisty felines.

Her little home is known as Moggy Towers even though, despite having plenty of moggies, there are no towers! The cats kindly allow her and Mr Mogs to share their home as long as the mortgage continues to be paid.

Since the age of three, Kiltie has been an avid reader although it was many years later before she decided to put pen to paper – or fingers to keyboard – to begin giving life to the stories in her head. Her debut novel was released in September 2017 and her fourth book was a US Amazon bestseller in Time Travel Romance.

Kiltie loves to write fiery and feisty female characters and puts the blame for this firmly on the doorsteps of Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables and George Kirrin from The Famous Five.

When asked what her best memories are, Kiltie will tell you:

1. Queuing up overnight outside the Glasgow Apollo to buy her Live-Aid ticket.

2. Being at Live-Aid.

3. Winning an MTV competition to meet Bon Jovi in Sweden.

(Although, if Mr Mogs is in earshot, the latter is changed to her wedding day.)

Her main motto in life used to be “Old enough to know better, young enough not to care!” but that has since been replaced with “Too many stories, can't type fast enough!”

All books are available in ebook & paperback through Amazon.

My first Kiltie Jackson. I'm pretty sure it won't be my last!
Fresh out of a long term relationship, Mats is not too delighted to find that her best friend, Penny, has lined her up as a possible for a live blind date interview on the radio.
Embarrassed, Steven (with a V) can't believe he drunk emailed a radio station to help him find a date for his brother's engagement party.
Washed up, used to be famous DJ Marky Sparks needs a break, as does the small radio station he now works for.
So, when the aforementioned email arrives at the radio station, there's a flutter of excitement; could they help fix someone up? And, could this be the thing they need to promote their flagging popularity?
I won't go into details here, because you should really read the book for that, but what I will say is that I really became invested in the characters.
I loved Mats and her straight-talking nature, mixed in with a heart of gold.
I felt so sorry for Steven when he wasn't able to make his feelings clear enough.
And old Marky Sparks? I'll be honest, it took me a little while to warm to him, but I did, especially after a scene where his vulnerability was shown in greater detail.
All in all a great read, which I sped through over a day!

First of all, this would make an excellent movie! The characters of Mats and Steven are so likeable and down to earth, you instantly warm to them.
A clever storyline that sees washed up DJ Marky Sparks struggling to keep his slot on the radio, fortunately he manages to come up with a quirky idea that captures the interest of the listeners and brings together Mats and Steven in the process.
Filled with humour and feel good moments, I find reading a Kiltie book always makes me feel contented and uplifted. Another cracker of a character in Mats, I adore strong and feisty female characters, who can take on whatever challenges they come across, with determination and pure grit. I loved how she took on DJ Marky and in the process helped change things for the better by her honesty and level headiness.
This book definitely had me laughing and smiling, it’s pure entertainment from start to finish! 😊

So this was a great story, very well written, plenty of drama, laugh out loud moments and a fair few heartfelt moments which will kept the readers engaged for sure and it did me. However one thing that let it down for me was the character of Mats, I liked her to begin with, but near the end I just didn’t like her anymore, could not understand the decisions that she made nor the way she treated a certain someone. Maybe that was the authors intention but for me, it was a disappointment, the character went from being believable to not being believable.

My favourite characters in this story were Penny and Marky, think they deserve a story all of their very own.
